A bakery made some sardine, chocolate and kaya muffins. For every 2 sardine muffins that were made, 1 kaya muffin were made. For every 8 sardine muffins that were made, 7 chocolate muffins were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of sardine muffins to chocolate muffins to kaya muffins made.
- After the bakery made another 46 kaya muffins, 25% of the muffins now were kaya muffins. How many sardine muffins did the bakery make?
(a)
Sardine |
Chocolate |
Kaya |
2x4 |
|
1x4 |
8x1 |
7x1 |
|
8 u |
7 u |
4 u |
Sardine : Chocolate : Kaya
8 : 7 : 4
(b)
|
Sardine |
Chocolate |
Kaya |
Before |
15 u |
4 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 46 |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Total number of sardine and chocolate muffins
= 7 u + 8 u
= 15 u
Increase in the number of kaya muffins
= 5 u - 4 u
= 1 u
1 u = 46
Number of sardine muffins
= 8 u
= 8 x 46
= 368
Answer(s): (a) 8 : 7 : 4 ; (b) 368
